Become a Friend of Bristol Zoo Gardens

Do you have fond memories of coming to the Zoo with your family and friends?

Are you interested in helping breeding programmes in the Zoo?

Do you want to make a real difference to animals in the wild?

The Friends of Bristol Zoo scheme is the perfect way for you to continue supporting the Zoo, its animals and conservation projects. A monthly donation of as little as just £3 will help protect threatened plants, animals and habitats around the world. 

The benefits of the Friends scheme include

• One free family ticket (two adults and two children) to the Zoo per year so that you can come and visit the animals you are helping to safeguard.

• An invitation to our exclusive Friends event  where you meet key members of the Zoo team and get a chance to learn more about our conservation work.

• Updates on our conservation projects twice a year.

• An exclusive Friends’ pin badge.
